Edition originale
First edition of "one of the most famous cookery books of the 18th century" (BnF). This "particularly elegant collection" of over two hundred recipes (Mennell, p. 80) is distinguished by its unusual names, which Bitting remarks "indicate that the writer gave free scope to his imagination" - poulets en culottes, sauce au singe vert. "An excellent and valuable little work, now extremely scarce" (Kirwan, p. 12), it was anonymously published. It has been most frequently attributed to Louis Auguste de Bourbon, Prince of Dombes, to whom the dedicatory epistle is addressed. A second edition was published in 1741, and a third in 1747. Bitting, p. 540; Cagle 1081; Livres en bouche, Bibliothèque nationale de France, 2001, notice no. 202 ("Un des livres de cuisine les plus célèbres du XVIIIe siècle"); Maggs cat. 645: Food and Drink through the Ages 237 (1747 edition, "little cookery treatise contains some recipes marked by picturesque names"); Vicaire 233; Andrew Valentine Kirwan, Host and Guest: A Book about Dinners, Wines, and Desserts, 1864; Stephen Mennell, All Manners of Food, second edition, 1996; Willan 665. Duodecimo (161 x 93 mm). Contemporary sprinkled calf, spine label to second compartment, others tooled in gilt with floral motifs, dots, and stars, scrollwork at head and foot, raised bands, single fillet border in blind to boards, marbled endpapers, edges red, blue silk bookmarker. Woodcut title page device, headpiece, initial. Previous bookseller's description tipped onto front free endpaper verso, facing blank with small earlier purple monogram stamp ("BR"). Extremities lightly rubbed, joints starting but nevertheless firm, a little stripping and one watermark to rear board, overall presenting very nicely; contents generally crisp and clean, occasional light spotting and chip to fore margin of C5. A very good copy in a contemporary binding.
